After a competitive first half in Game 1, the Nuggets fell apart in the second half as they went down 122-105. At half-time they led 58-57 but allowed 65 pts in the second as their defence couldn’t stop the Suns main focal points. So that’ll be an area of improvement for the Nuggets in Game 2. However, to make matters worse Michael Porter Jr. has a back injury and is questionable for Thursday’s game.<\/span><\/p>\n The Suns kicked off the series in excellent fashion with a 17 point win. It was an impressive team performance as all 5 starters played well. Booker was a bit quieter on the shooting end but finished with 8 assists as he played more of a distributor role. Meanwhile, Chris Paul also scored 21 points and had 11 assists in another excellent display by the veteran. As a team, they shot 54% from the field and gave the Nuggets defence plenty of trouble in the second half. So expect the Suns to stick with the same gameplan in Game 2 until the Nuggets find a defensive solution.<\/span><\/p>\n High scoring has been the trend between the two teams and therefore, we’ll be backing the Over in Game 2. Overall, the Over has saluted in the last 5 meetings at this venue and it’s also 12-5 in the Suns last 17 games.<\/span><\/p>\n Stadium Record<\/b><\/p>\n The Suns hold a 17-2 record in their last 19 home games.
